October Name Suggestions #1 and #2.

October is boring.

I mean, can we wait the whole month for Halloween and then that is that?

Thats all October is willing to give?

I figure a name change is necessary to remedy this.

Jocktober

This is a month to celebrate meatheads and all the things they enjoy:

steaks; aggressively punching inanimate objects; running full speed into walls, trees or other people; listening to Creed; working, showing off and talking about muscles; punishing local nerds; and most importantly, firmly believing that all these things are impressive to women.

Perhaps a great day in Jocktober would consist of punching several cows to death, eating steaks made from them, while listening to Creed's greatest hits, then 7 hours at the gym, a rousing round of nerd bashing (in front of a bunch of impressed womens), then going home and sleeping on your floor, because you ate your bed earlier.

Socktober

This is a month to celebrate socks and everything they stand for; footwarmth, protection against athlete's foot (which is really gross), and I guess that pretty much all socks do, but still two things is alot. Thanks socks!

Also, in Socktober it will be common for people to wear socks on their hands and use them as puppets so that they can say what they have been thinking about people and not have to say it to them directly.

For instance, perhaps one (Steve) has been watching one (Diane) and thinks she's totally hot. Steve could put a sock on his hand and say to her in a muppety voice, "Hey Diane, Steve said you look hot today, Steve also said he looks hot today, Steve also said, perhaps you and Steve could combine your hotness on a date tonight." Which would probably totally sweep Diane off her feet.

Then Steve could show up to their date wearing socks under his sandals and Diane would be thinking, "Boy, does this guy know how to celebrate Socktober!"

Or perhaps Steve knows some meathead coworker named Kyle. Kyle is like pumping iron and eating steaks and he totally tries to punch Steve right in the kisser for no apparent reason. Well, the next day at work Steve could get up on the desk at a meeting with a sock on his hand and start talking in a meathead voice, and be all like "Hey look at me I am some jerkface named Kyle. I ate twenty steaks for breakfast, in fact I am eating a steak right now." Then Kyle would be all ashamed because he was eating a steak (but he would still finish it and also eat like 50 chicken legs and part of the table where he was sitting) and then Steve would continue in the meathead voice, "I know this is Socktober, but I thought maybe by punishing nerds and listening to 'Higher' by Creed at maximum volume I could make this Jocktober." Then Steve would get a huge hi-five from his boss, who was now also wearing a sock on his hand and they would join in together of a roast of Kyle the meathead. So then later Kyle would console himself by eating like 20 more steaks. And his office desk.
